causes gardens to grow, [both] trellised and untrellised, and palm trees and
crops of different [kinds of] food and olives and pomegranates, similar and

on the day of its harvest. And be not excessive. Indeed, He does not like those
who commit excess.

ريشة، رشاد، ريان، ريحان). The story of the letter ر
was inspired from the story of AlMuhajereen and Al Ansaar. Rashad and Raihan
were Mohajereen (immigrants) to a new city. When they arrived to their new city, they met a person by the name of Rayan, a wealthy citizen. He had a farm full of رمان and animals with رٍجْلَيْن and other animals with ريش.

·Please remember that
students are not being evaluated for homework, so please do not push students too
hard to perfectly do it as this might affect their love of the Arabic language
negatively. Erasing what the student did can be frustrating!

·Please do not hesitate to
share any home videos of your child talking in Arabic with me. I can show these
videos to the students. You can also send these videos for Show and Tell.
